The present invention discloses a depression assessment system based on physiological information, comprising an information acquisition module, a signal processing module, a parameters calculation module, a feature selection module, a machine learning module and an output result module. The present invention further discloses a depression assessment method based on various physiological information, comprising the following steps: 1, processing electrocardiogram (ECG) signal and one or more of photoplethysmography (PPG) signal, electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, galvanic skin response (GSR)signal, electrogastrography (EGG) signal, electromyogram (EMG) signal, electrooculogram (EOG) signal, polysomnogram (PSG) signal and temperature signal, and calculating signal parameters; 2, normalizing the obtained signal parameters, and performing the feature selection on parameters set formed by the normalized signal parameters to obtain feature parameters set; and 3, performing machine learning by utilizing the obtained feature parameters set, and establishing a depression assessment mathematic model to assess the depression level by utilizing a relationship between the feature parameters set and the depression level. The present invention has the advantage that the subjectivity of the assessment by utilizing the depression rating scale can be avoided.
